Vascularized tumor-on-chip microplatforms for the studies of neovasculature as hope for more effective cancer treatments

Angiogenesis is the development of new blood vessels from pre-existing vasculature. Multiple factors control its course. Disorders of the distribution of angiogenic agents are responsible for development of solid tumors and its metastases. Understanding of the molecular interactions regulating pathological angiogenesis will allow for development of more effective, even personalized treatment. A simulation of angiogenesis under microflow conditions is a promising alternative to previous studies conducted on animals and on 2D cell cultures. In this review, we summarize what has been discovered so far in the field of vascularized tumor-on-a-chip platforms. For this purpose, we describe different vascularization techniques used in microfluidics, present various attempts to induce angiogenesis-on-a-chip and report some approaches to recapitulate vascularized tumor microenvironment under microflow conditions.
